| 0:00.0 | Important advance stats on Jalen Waddle and Deontay Johnson and why the number one wide receiver |
| 0:09.4 | and fantasy is going to stay that way after week four right now on FFT and 5. |
| 0:14.3 | What's up everybody? |
| 0:15.2 | Welcome to our Saturday show. |
| 0:16.5 | We've got advanced stats with Jacob Gibbs here of Sportsline. |
| 0:19.1 | Jacob has great content for you at Sportsline.com, which is extremely affordable and pays for |
